Forgotten Memories that seemed an age past
Was looking through friendster when i saw the testimonials that some of my juniors wrote for their squadmates in NPCC; those words really brought me back to the time when i was around that age, and bonds were so strongly forged then. Used to remember that i would wake up everyday and go to school early in the morning just to see my mates.

We would always go back to the CCA room to play carrom, listen to then-oh-so-good 98.7FM (now i think it has became so trashy), play basketball (though i was not good at it), chinese chess, cleaning up the room and imitating dance groups... ah... those were the times...

Still can remember that we used to stay till 6 or 7 pm or so and then slowly walked to the bus stop to await the bus home.. sometimes it would be walking through How San avenue, singing songs as we pass, joking.. talking... Weekends after training will be makaning at Kovan till 9pm and it was oh-so-fun then....

Then i become a senior and began to put in lots of effort for my juniors. Trainings for competition would start at 2pm and end around 6pm almost everyday when finals were near, through the sun and the rain, through the good and bad times.. and i was ever so willing to sacrifice time -- it went through the time when i was in army and finally they graduated.

Would never be able to forget the tears in particularly 2 of them when it was the night that they would say goodbye to me in an official event (POP concert). One of them made me a grasshopper and a note, to which i cherish so much even till today. I would cry if i could but i did not.. and perhaps they could have forgotten the bonds that we shared then, or the tears that they shed.. but it would forever remain in that special place in my heart, keeping it going even if the times should get too tough to handle... .. .

If time could turn back.. what would i have wished again? Those forgotten memories that seemed an age past... ....
